He was talking slower than normal as well. The review loses allot when his voice doesn't have that manic quality to it. Sounds like he may have swine flu :-) Hope he gets better soon. Keep up the good work.

cool review. the voice is different. maybe some one else jumped in for him so yahtzee can have a break for a change.part 1 was pretty good. not perfect but good. and fast travel was possible in part 1. at least on the pc. now we pc people have to wait for part 2 for the pc. ubisoft likes to make it better for the pc, so in march next year we will have it.

goddamn, bigots have found their way into the gaming industry. either your talking about blacks or gays in your reviews in a super derogatory manner. cant you be an interesting reviewer without catering to the racist crowed?

Alias42:Blimey, Yahtzee has jumped the shark. I used to watch all of his movie two or three times and laugh throughout, but this one wasn't even chuckle-worthy. I think Wolfenstein was the last proper "funny" review, it was downhill from there.

The Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story review was hilarious! I don't see how you didn't think that one was "proper funny".

You can give many examples of nice jokes in the reviews post-Wolfenstein, but they just don't manage to crack me up like before. I watched the one about Guitar Hero III about ten times, and laughed throughout every single time. The reviewing style seems to become a bit too serious and concerned with actual reviewing instead of just funny stuff, which is why I loved this show so much.

I think Yahtzee USUALLY time-compresses his voice recordings to make them sound faster/higher pitched...but it sound's like he's neglected to do so this week (which could explain the difference in his voice).

*Listen to ANY of his other reviews & compare them to this week's: There's some relatively audible compression artifacts*

I'm glad he actually seemed to like AC2 this time, I was hoping he would.

Odd, though, that I never had the problems that Yahtzee (and many other players) had. I was able to follow the plot just fine. I also tried to do things other than counters, even though I only had to do counters for the most part.
